Is Your Aussie A Little Stinky?

Okay this is my first Aussie I have had many other dogs and he is great except for being a little bit stinky mostly from the back end. I have given him a bath my question is it common because of the skirting in the back end? Don't get me wrong it is not like you can smell him a mile away it is just when you have him up close and it is not like it is unbearable maybe it is just normal Aussie smell...

How often can I bath him with a good soap?

Thanks!

stinky
by: Gayle-- Big Run Aussies

Aussies actually have very little body odor and are very clean dogs. Their coats seem to shed out dirt in a very short time. You might want to trim his rear end a bit especially in the summer.
Keeping it clean
by: Kathy

Aussies, with 'pants', can get a little messy at times. We do a couple of things - keep the pants area trimmed regularly, particularly round the 'exit' (gross, eh?) Also, we feed a VERY high quality food - good food reduces waste considerably, and the small amount of stool tends to be firm.

A healthy dog should not smell, and Aussies are no exception.

Hope this helps!

Stinky

My aussie is very clean and hardly ever smells. However, if she has a loose stool I have to clean her back end with dog shampoo/hose. You just have to check for that and also I found hard stool deep in her fur! But overall, she is the cleanest dog I have every had. It's my lab that is stinky all the time!
